For more than a decade, the threat of a huge, open-pit copper and gold mine has loomed over the heart of pristine salmon spawning territory in Bristol Bay, Alaska. Following a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers decision in 2020 to deny a key permit for the mine, the EPA released a preliminary legal determination in May 2022 that forbids mining waste disposal in the Bay’s watershed.
If finalized and successfully defended in court, the EPA decision should spell the end of the Pebble Mine proposal.
Pebble Mine would directly impact the world’s greatest sockeye salmon run. It would put in jeopardy thousands of American jobs, a cultural tradition of subsistence dating back 10,000 years, and a robust sport-fishing and tourism economy.
Pebble Mine, I think it's time
We say our last goodbye
I wish I could say I enjoyed your stay
But that would be a lie
Pebble Mine, I think it's time
We say our last farewell
Bye Bye Pebble Mine
Houseguest From Hell
Get off my sofa, pack your bags
Get out, be on your way
You overstayed your welcome
In the House of Bristol Bay
You came to make your fortune
Taking our copper and gold
You said it'd be good for us
We don't believe everything we're told
Pebble Mine, I think it's time
We say our last farewell
Bye Bye Pebble Mine
Houseguest From Hell
Take your feet off of my table
Put out that fat cigar
We're all done talking here
Get your hand out of that jar
Don't forget your toothbrush
And your fancy suits and ties
But leave your nice new shoes
We wear the exact same size
Pebble Mine, I think it's time
We say our last farewell
Bye Bye Pebble Mine
Houseguest From Hell
Your dirty dishes in the sink
Ain't gonna clean themselves
That big pile of your dirty clothes
Is really starting to smell
You ate up all my pizza
And drank up all my beer
It's time to hit the road
Now get the hell out of here
Pebble Mine, I think it's time
We say our last goodbye
Wish I could say I enjoyed your stay
But that would be a lie
Pebble Mine, I think it's time
We say our last farewell
Bye Bye Pebble Mine
